I currently live in Lancaster County (born and raised in Pittsburgh though) and I am looking into getting a Lap-band. Tomorrow is my seminar at Hershey Med. Center. I am excited to see what they have to say.

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else out there is from my area!

From Windsor PA (York County) here. I am surprised by how few people are from PA. I have tons of weight to lose and was looking for some local peeps to share the journey with.

Hi, I'm from Bethlehem, PA and had my surgery done by Dr. Garcia on Oct. 7th. Would love to meet up with others in the Lehigh Valley who have had LB surgery.

I am attending a seminar hosted by the Reading Hospital next week (it is actually taking place at the Eden Resort in Lancaster). I am from Myerstown, Pa just east of Lebanon. I was thinking about also attending a seminar from the hershey med-center. Is shopping around a good thing, or will I go into information overload?

I'm from Myerstown too! :wink2: My dad's been thinking about the LAPBAND procedure for a while now...his doctor thinks it would be a good decision for him too. He is planning to check out a seminar at Reading Hospital and I was just wondering if you got a lot out what they told you. Thanks

I'm not banded yet, but ending up going with Reading Weight Management Center. I am having Dr. Ku perform the lap-band surgery and he has been really great so far, along with his office. Their office is very organized and does all the paperwork. So far, so good. I have just begun my 3 month program.

I'm from Tobyhanna, PA (Poconos). Surgery is June 1 at Geisinger in Danville. Their protocol is the six-month plan, but that's just to get you to the approval stage. At six-month appt. they send all to insurance co and surgeon. So it's actually more like 7-8 month program. If I were rich..lol...I would have headed on down to Houston to my daughter's surgeon and had it done months ago. But since I'm not....lol

Good luck.
